The 2014 action spy movie offers a really powerful cast including Samuel L.Jackson , Colin Firth, Mark Strong and Taron Egerton.The movie was based on the comic book series The Secret Service and was brought to life by the vision of Matthew Vaughn.
The movie manages to hit all the usual story cliches and still offer something engaging and fun. The story revolves around Gary ‘Eggsy’ Unwin, a sort of gifted child who faced some bumps while growing up, those include
- Early death of father with no plausible explanation whatsoever (reason of death can’t be revealed due to legal reasons)
- A mentally unstable mother who ‘lost it’ whenever he made an sort of progress academically
- Her mum’s boyfriend(s) who’s just being a dick for no apparent reason.
What would you think a man of huge calibre and stuck in the bird nest would do? That’s right he looked at the silver lining and went to the bar to grab some drinks with his mates(friends).Now there he nicks mum’s boyfriend’s brother’s car and try to make cop friends, next thing you know he’s lined up for six month of prison time,i know system sucks. Now he call’s in the favour.
Enter Harry Hart, a secret agent from the independent spy agency The Kingsman, Harry will sever as our protagonist’s father figure , mentor and the guy who gets killed because Eggsy just wasn’t feeling so motivated. Galahad(Harry) shows him the pro of being a gentleman badass and offer him a chance to be the next Lancelot, because the current one was just shot by antagonist.
Valentine,a tech savvy businessman, is our bad guy of choice who is humbled by the burden of 8 billion people beared by our mother earth,and wants kill most of the because we as a collective species are just greedy parasites who are just eating away the host(planet) and ensuring our slow and a painful eventual death, you know the little stuff. And he’s doing it in a way all rich tech guys know how, by offering a free service for lifetime the makes you go bad shit crazy (literally in this case) and getting what they want in the process.
Now Galahad goes on investigating Valentine while Eggsy trains to be the next kingsman, and the training was really lite weighted just the usual stuff, nothing much bearly an inconvenience, I mean yeah he thinks
- that his co-trainee drowned and died on the first day in,
- he didn’t had a parachute while he jumped from a jet
- killing his dog who he trained with him
- and literally he’s gonna die cause he was tied up to a train track with an approaching locomotive
While Galahad dines McDonalds with Valentine, goes to a church, kills everyone present in the church and then gets killed. it is up to gone rouge Eggsy to take up the mantle of Galahad to defeat the evil Valentine and save the day. Now honestly, there is a really good final battle sequence where all the heads blow up and instead of blood fireworks come out of there heads.It is a really fun movie in which they make fun of these kind of movies as the final line for the antagonist was “it ain’t that kind of movie”.
The conclusion was that life of Eggsy is finally awesome now, he revenged death of his mentor, saved the world in the process, saved his family and scored with a princess, all while being a whimpy badass in the process.
